3D simulation of a Hall-effect thuster near plume with a central cathode
, 2021 Raw simulation data of the near plume of an SPT-100 Hall Effect thruster, obtained using the 3D code "EP2PLUS". This makes use of a hybrid particle-in-cell/fluid (PIC/fluid) formulation, and is here used to assess the 3D effects of the neutralizer ...

Advanced laboratory for testing plasma thrusters and Hall thruster measurement campaign
Nukleonika, 2016 Plasma engines are used for space propulsion as an alternative to chemical thrusters. Due to the high exhaust velocity of the propellant, they are more efficient for long-distance interplanetary space missions than their conventional counterparts.
